The Mexican BurrO.

Some. people would say an ass, but "burro" sounds classic and big to an outsider. He also sounds big and loud to insiders. He is made up mostly of big sounds. He has more voice to the linear foot than anything else on earth, not except ing a steam fog horn. Up north and in the east he is called a don- key. The scriptures call him an ass. Because of some men having many of his peculiarities, they are called asses. Of course, we do not know if men inherited this or not; but we have seen men that to call them asses would be base slander- to the burro.
 He is a dignifed little animal, and originally suggested to the an- cients the idea of making wind mills by his ears. We have seen 'tenderfeet" when they first rode out on the plains and saw a herd of burros in the distance with their ears flaming the flies of, or keeping their offspring cool, go into ecsta- cies over what they thought was a large number of wind-mills in full blast. We have been lying on the plains Cat least we are lying now) when these little animals looked ikea lot of grey ants working on the hillsides not over mile away.
 He is the meekest-looking indi- vidual in all the tribes of the field. The lamb is a.picture of ferocity beside him. But his meekness is all assumed for purpose-a glo- rious purpose, too, to him. He will let you club him, and ride him, and pull him around, and look in his mouth, and feel of his heels during the entire year, in orderto get your full confidence. Then, if you un- derstand burro nature as we do, you will notice that he actually smiles as he looks atssthe almanac and sees that Christmas is almost here. It is then that he rewards himself for all his gentle meekness during the year. He waits for a good opportunity and then kicks you through the barn door, and goes out after you and walks all over you, and then lifts up his voice and laughs wicked "Ha-a-a he-e-e he-ha-he-ahe- ahe-e-haw-haw-he-hahe hahehahehahe-e-e-e r7Fort Worth Colonel.

ed fire on them and got away. They came to Denver empty handed, and no further attempt has been made to capture him. The cowboys sometimes ride over a hill to be alarmed by threatening Winches- ter and the cry, "hands up," but Newt lowers his weapon when he sees who they are, and they pass along and leave him in his shelter ing ravine. Dave J. Cook, the Rocky Mountain detective, asks $500 to effect his capture, and says he will not go after him unless he has a warrant, as he expects to have to kill him.
 The saloon in which Newt as- saulted Gallagher was recently ac- quired by George Hodge, ex-State Representative, under mortgage foreclosure. Twelve men have been killed in it, and there isn't any part of the wall to which a finger may be pointed that doesn't possess a bullet hole. Murderer Wilson, who shot a Sheriff at Trinidad, and was afterward shot and killed by detec- tives in neighboring county, was in the habit of snufing out the lights wit his revolver and making the habitues of the place "hide out" that is, getting out of range of the bullets which he sprinkled through the room in darkness. Popping out the lights and making the customers hide out is favor ite amusement of the bad men who drink at Hodges bar, and the rec ord of their pastimes is presented in the abundance of the bullet holes in the walls and ceiling.- St. Joseph (Mo. ) Gazette.

Morning in the City of Mexico.

An early morning start brings us first to the flower market. Whole families seated about are busily en- gagged in arranging flowers of rare beauty and fragrance. The flower girls, with their olive complexions and brilliant eyes of jet, their white teeth, beautiful hair in long braids carelessly swung over we'll rounded shoulders, with skirts gathered short to the uncorseted waist, nimbly ply their delicate fingers so rapidly that they weave bouxuets as 1t were by magic, the roses, the lilies and the forget-me-nots dropping into their places and forming gallands and wreaths of endless variety, Then to the market square, near the pal ace, where a jabbering throng of lazy men and loosely dressed women, with robust voices, implore you to purchase almost every arti- cle of household necessity, includ. ing fruits and vegetables.
 Water-carriers, with their earthen jars slung over their heads, are passing to and fro, delivering the morning supply of water from house to house. The little burro, that tiny quadruped so necessary to Mexicans, hardly yet awake, is pushed along by his master. The little fellows, in groups of dozen or more, are loaded down with everything from a chicken to a stoye. The slightest laxitY on the part of his master and he stops short to nibble at the nearest thing at hand, be it an old shoe or tin can. The question was once asked, "Can a burro-driver be a Christ ian?" the answer being, "He might if he tried very hard, but he would have to give up driving burros. ."- New York Post,

Very Curious, Indeed.

A curious electric phenomenon
 is reported from Fayette, Michigan.
 Thursday evening lively thunder shower passed over that region, du- ring which the play of lightning was peculiarly frequent and vivid. Just before the storm broke Amos J. Biggs, farmer living midway between Hillsdale and Jonesville, who is quite bald, his head being smooth and shiny, went into his backyard to frighten away some cats that were fighting on the wood- pile. So intent were they on exter- minating one another as to allow Farmer Riggs to approach within a few feet of them. At the same instant there was a great crash and an electric belt struck the woodpile scattering it and stiffening the cats in an intense rigor mortis. Aside from a prickly sensation and sud- den contraction of the muscles, Mir. Biggs experienced no unpleasant effects. The fluid passed down his body, tore the works of his watch to pieces, breaking the cover, rip ped his lett trousers leg from top to bottom. and burst his left boot, tearing the upper clear from the sole. When he entered the house his wife tainted. Unconscious of the cause, the farmer hastened to bring her to. The first words she uttered-"Oh, Amos, the devil has set his mark on you l"-excited his curiosity, and he looked in the glass and found the image of a black cat photographed in silhoutte on his bold front. The picture was perfect. It was about five inches from tip to tip and in perfect pro- portion. The cats whiskers, teeth, and even the hairs on it's tail were reproduced with great minuteness. Curiosity being satisfied they tried to remove the obnoxious marking, but to no purpose. However, in the morning the picture was much faded, and by noon it had quite disappeared.-Atlanta Constitution.

He climbed tree, up which the bear pursued him, and was gaining on him when an. idea struck him.
